The first book dedicated to the career of the preeminent American architect, Henry N. Cobb.As a builder, teacher, and mentor, Henry N. Cobb has been one of the most eloquent voices in architecture for well over half a century. A founding partner of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, where he has worked actively and continuously since its inception in 1955, his practice encompasses a wide variety of building types, with projects across the world that resound in the public imagination.Cobb's sensitivity to place and use generate surprising and unparalleled forms in educational and civic buildings such as the Portland Museum of Art in Maine, the Anderson School of Management at UCLA, the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse in Boston, and Palazzo Lombardia in Milan or in corporate and commercial projects, such as the John Hancock Tower in Boston, Fountain Place Tower in Dallas, Tour EDF at La Dfense in Paris, and Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at One Dalton, now under construction in Boston.Henry N. Cobb: Words & Works 19482018 is his first book, uniquely combining poetic analyses of his distinguished works with essays and lectures that cover topics about architecture's past, present, and future. His voice is complemented by interviews and discussions with Michael Graves, Robert A.M. Stern, Hal Foster, Charles Gwathmey, Paolo Conrad Bercah, Cynthia Davidson, Peter Eisenman, Mark Pasnik, and John Hejduk. Handsomely designed by OverUnder, this book is packaged in a portable size evocative of the Library of America series.A longtime educatorand chair of the Harvard Graduate School of Design from 1980 to 1985 Cobb takes up his extensive subject matter in a thoughtful and engaging manner. To anyone interested in the development of American architecture in its transition from modernism to postmodernism and into the era of hightech starchitecture, there are a number of treasures here to discover.Henry N. Cobb is a landmark survey in words and works of one of the great architects of our time.
